Arris S33 modem w/ Xfinity 1.2Gbps service

Just started using an Arris S33 modem for my Xfinity 1.2Gbps link.  After reboot I get ~900Mbps downstream and ~6Mbps upstream.  Hours later I am getting ~25Mbps downstream ~4Mbps upstream.  I have checked the S33 cable signal levels and they look to be within expectations.  Is there anything else I need to check before heading deeper into the Xfinity support forest?

Hello @user_489160! Just to ensure that a download didn't get hung up, can you please disconnect the coaxial cable from your modem and unplug the power cord from its power source for about 1 minute, and then reconnect everything. Once the power cord and coaxial cable have been reconnected, can you please let me know if your issue persists?

Will check that in about an hour.

Back closer to start...   Download  ~600Mbps (30% less than start) and upload ~5Mbps.  Better but that is less than 1/2 of subscribed download bandwidth.

Thank you for checking for us. @user_489160 Can you tell us more about the devices you have connected. With your modem do you have a separate router, splitter, amplifier or extender connected? 

Do you use a VPN? 

What type of device are you using to run the speed test on?

Separate router (Netgear Nighthawk).  No VPN.   I was just being lazy and running https://business.comcast.com/learn/internet-speed-test
